If you're looking to become the owner of a new premium crossover that blends performance, style and luxury with industry-latest technologies, you have come to the right place! The 2021 Acura RDX is built with power, versatility and the refinement that Acura automobiles are known for -- all at a competitive price. The BMW X3 is another great premium crossover, but the RDX puts up a tough fight! Here is how the RDX measures up to the BMW X3 from your San Antonio Acura dealer, and why we think it is the car for you!
RDX vs X3
Both the 2021 Acura RDX and 2021 BMW X3 utilize a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that's turbocharged to deliver its power, either to two wheels in standard form, or four wheels with their available respective AWD systems. But the powertrains are not equal: Acura's high-powered 2.0L turbo-four engine generates an impressive 272 hp, while BMW's turbo engine of the same displacement makes just 248 hp in the X3. It's a similar story when we look at torque, where the Acura outmuscles the BMW once again.
In terms of transmission, the highly efficient Acura RDX achieves its stellar EPA-estimated mpg ratings thanks to its standard 10-speed automatic transmission, which boasts two additional forward gears than the BMW X3 and its 8-speed automatic offer.
Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ is engineered to not only improve grip on slick surfaces but enhance the RDX's cornering capabilities. Acura has continually refined its SH-AWD® system to outperform the competition's all-wheel drive, and can be experienced on the RDX!
When it comes to standard features and value, Acura surpasses BMW yet again! Not only is the 2021 Acura RDX more affordable than the 2021 BMW X3, but it comes standard with a suite of driver-assistive and safety technologies -- something the BMW doesn't.
